7. Not expecting a Yes or No answer today

I'm expecting a statement to the effect that the FBI is still working on the investigation and that they hope or will have a final report prior to the convention.

2 days is probably a bit too soon after the interview on Saturday for the FBI to finalize the report.

[B2G]

8. It does seem fast

You would think if that's all he had to say, he could just release a statement though.

11. We'll find out in about an hour, but

given how long the FBI has been working on this, it really seems unlikely that they would suddenly rush to finish 2 days after interviewing Hillary.

10. Maybe he should direct the press and the masses to 9-27.000 - Principles Of Federal Prosecution

and the 5th Amendment.

14. The public has been misled.

The FBI doesn't recommend indictment, career prosecutors at the DOJ do:

Should career prosecutors at DOJ decide there is enough evidence they will convene a grand jury who will indict upon a finding of probable cause:

A. In determining whether to commence or recommend prosecution or take other action against a person, the attorney for the government should not be influenced by:
1. The person's race, religion, sex, national origin, or political association, activities or beliefs;
2. The attorney's own personal feelings concerning the person, the person's associates, or the victim; or
3. The possible affect of the decision on the attorney's own professional or personal circumstances.
